fere with the vision of the user but will prevent the rays of the sun and reflected rays from reaching the eyes of the user.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:-

Flgure 1 is a front view of the invention.

Figure 2 is a section on the line 22 of Figure 1.

In this drawing the numeral l indicates the frames of the goggles connected together by the nose piece 2 and provided with the usual temples 3. In carrying out my invention I eliminate the usual transparent members of the frames and place-in each frame a plurality of thin strips A of metal or the like so that the strips are opaque and they are rendered non-reflecting.

As shown the strips are arranged in upper and lower groups with a space 4 between the groups, said space being located approximately at the center of the frame and this space is directly in front of the eyes of the user.' Thestrips of the upper group are all horizontally arranged and spaced equal distances apart. If desired,'some of the upper strips may slope forward and downward. Some of the upper strips of the lower group slope forwardly and downwardly as shown at 5. The strips of the lower group are also equally spaced.

(@ll. 2 m) As will be seen the upper strips will prevent the direct rays of the sun from reaching the eyes of the user while the lower strips will prevent reflected rays from snow or the like from reaching the eyes of the user. As the strips are very thin they will not interfere with the vision and as they are light absorbent they will not reflect light into the eyes of the user.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided reflecting strips extending transversely across the frame and vertically spaced, said strips being arranged in upper and lower groups with a space between the twogroups.

3. A device of the class described comprising a frame, and a plurality of thin opaque and nonrefiecting strips extending transversely across the frame and vertically spaced, said strips being arranged in upper and lower groups with a space between the two groups, some ofthe upper strips of the lower group sloping downwardly and forwardly.
